  1. Wait... on 50% of Apple's Revenue Comes From the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Apple has products other than the iPhone?

  2. Re:Sure it is. on Venezuela's Chavez To Limit Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    Chavez is a dictator[snip]

    Don't let Sean Penn hear you say that!

  3. In the SPECTRE vein... on James Bond Villain Data Center · · Score: 1

    Are servers dropped into a Piranha filled pool when they fail?

  4. Re:Peak Oil on Energy Secretary Chu Endorses "Clean Coal" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why not research the hell out of the subject and sell it to them in 10 years when they realize that they're killing their population with pollution?

    That of course, would require that China give a damn about their population.

  5. Re:This isn't a 180 on EFF Says Obama Warrantless Wiretap Defense Is Worse than Bush · · Score: 1

    Your point would be compelling if those numbers weren't from five and a half years ago.
    I'd think the overall mindset of the electoral base has changed just a wee bit, no?

  6. Re:Pokemon on Strange Glitches In Games · · Score: 1

    Ahh Missingno, how I loved thee.
    He was the cornerstone of my Player vs. Player Pokemon team. If anyone managed to beat my first five level 99 pokemon (thanks to Missingno's rare candy explot), he'd come into play. The game would then crash because Red and Blue didnt like to play nice with him over the cable. I've yet to lose a player vs player battle.

  7. Re:This calls for something. on Baby Chicks Have Innate Mathematical Skills · · Score: 1

    I see an Ignobel in their future.

  8. Re:This has GOT to be an April Fools story on Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've got some swamp-land for sale if you're interested.

  9. Re:I tried mastering cat. on Interview With the Author of "Mastering Cat" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There's your problem. It's not your cat, you're his person.

  10. Re:Why not? Ascii is everything. on Online Banking Customers Migrating To Lynx · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pfth. You command line wussies are gonna be the next to be hit while those of us who read the packets straight from the CAT-5 laugh at your insecure browsers.

  11. Re:This just in... on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    I figured it'd just DDoS 4chan....again.

  12. Let me be the first to ask.... on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Now In Beta · · Score: 5, Funny

    What the heck is a Jackalope?

  13. Re:Uh, not exactly a voting machine security flaw on Kentucky Officials "Changed Votes At Voting Machines" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Which is interesting, because it contradicts the image many of us have of the average end user. Personally I believed that they would be programmed by now to automatically click OK on any popup without reading it.

  14. Re:Sequels on Mass Effect 2 Announced For Early 2010 · · Score: 1

    They could do a best (or worst) of both worlds: Madden Effect 2010

    i can haz spaceflight?

  17. Re:Friday isn't all that bad on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    It's always possible they're trying to pull the Friday night viewers from SciFi.

    And if wikipedia is to be believed, SG:1 is the second longest running SciFi TV series, second only to the juggernaut that is Dr. Who.

  18. Re:Windows Users Beware... on Norton Users Worried By PIFTS.exe, Stonewalling By Symantec · · Score: 1

    People pirate Norton?

    Faith_in_humanity--;

  19. Re:Windows Users Beware... on Norton Users Worried By PIFTS.exe, Stonewalling By Symantec · · Score: 1

    DOS attacks are never warranted, and are ultimatly counterproductive. Best thing you can do to show your dissatisfaction with a company is to hit them where it hurts, deny them your business in the future.

  20. Can you imagine.... on Texas Judge Orders Identification of Topix Trolls · · Score: 1

    ...what the result would be if they visited 4chan instead?

  21. I wonder.... on Researcher Says Social Networks Link Terrorists · · Score: 1

    ...If OBL has more MySpace friends than I do.

  22. Re:Game writers members of WGA? on Writer's Guild Nominates Game Writing · · Score: 1

    I agree, but its storyline doesn't hold a candle to Mass Effect, to say nothing of Bioshock and Portal.

  23. Uh oh. on Writer's Guild Nominates Game Writing · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder if the producers for Bioshock, Mass Effect, and The Orange Box will be able to dig themselves out from under their respective piles of awards to offer an apology to the Writers Guild for not employing their members.

  24. Re:Inaccurate on The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer · · Score: 1

    Good point, I just re-read it and wondered to myself who the hell these warrior monks are, and why haven't I heard of them before. Sure it's probably their best approximation, or a way to connect to the readers, still it irks me.
    And more to the point, who the hell would use a cloth wearer to farm? Hunters are the typical choice of the farmer, seeing as they have a very powerful pet, high ranged damage, and an ability to drop all aggro if the proverbial shit hits the fan.

  25. Re:The WOW economy simulates the real one. on The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer · · Score: 1

    Most people treat WoW as a socialist state, because they keep demanding I make them water without compensating me. I don't see how that is an improvement over cold harsh capitalism. Mage Perspective: Give them the lowest level water you have, see if they notice for a while. It's good for a cheap laugh if they message you from some instance with a swath of four letter words fraught with misspellings.
